Birthdays

Lyrics

Spent the morning cleaning my room
 In the hope you'd ask to see it soon
 Let's pretend it's our birthday
 Separated by a couple of years and I'll
 Meet you on the corner of the water
 In the Elizabeth Street Pier
 Wanna be alone, wanna be surrounded
 Wanna be transient, wanna be grounded
 But all the dissonance disappears from me
 When you drape an arm across my knee intentionally, lazily and
 You will be the one
 Looking confused
 And I'll be the one
 Looking for you
 We are more than future housewives
 More than the sum of our past lives
 Two lovers in basically matching shirts
 Jaywalk together across petrified earth
 And if there's more to life
 Let me forget all about it tonight
 All I want occupying my mind
 Is "what is the highest thing we can climb before sunrise?"
 And you will be the one
 In uncomfortable shoes
 And I'll be the one
 Who's probably too drunk but still offers to carry you
 And you will be the one
 You will be the one
 And we'll laugh at everything so obvious
 But in our hearts, we'll take it so serious
 To the outside world, stay oblivious
 To all of our friends, our actions will be hideous
 And I'll be intense, and I'll be too much
 And I'll get too high, and I'll get too drunk
 But in between episodes
 I will love you more than anyone you have ever known
 And I don't mean to put the pressure on
 You're gonna like my dad I know you'll love my mum and
 I don't mean to put the pressure on
 Got a few names for a daughter, can't think of one for a son
 And I don't mean to put the pressure on
 I don't mean to put the pressure on
 I'd do anything
 (I don't mean to put the pressure on)
 I'm here to see this through
 Anyway, hey, my name's Wil
 Ah, it's nice to meet you
 Spent the morning cleaning my room
 In the hope you'd ask to see it soon
 Let's pretend it's our birthday
 Separated by a couple of years and I'll
 Meet you on the corner of the water
 In the Elizabeth Street Pier
 Wanna be alone, wanna be surrounded
 Wanna be transient, wanna be grounded
 But all the dissonance disappears from me
 When you drape an arm across my knee intentionally, lazily and
 You will be the one
 Looking confused
 And I'll be the one
 Looking for you
 We are more than future housewives
 More than the sum of our past lives

 And if there's more to life
